Hunter: Vigilante Deku

Chapter 4: It wasn't a dream...

Izuku's POV...

I woke up the next day with Eraser sleeping by my bed.

"E-Eraser?" I croaked. He jolted awake.

"Izuku! You can speak again!" He said, happiness apparent in his tone. I was confused. Why would he care about something that benefits me? I asked him as much.

"Because I am your legal guardian. Therefore, it is my responsibility to care. And also, because I love you." He said the last bit quietly.

I was shocked. He was telling the truth. Love... was that what I felt for my mom? And she felt for me?

"Love? I-I don't really know w-what that is but I-I'm willing to f-find out..." I said, still not used to speaking.

He beamed, an expression that I hadn't seen often in the grim hero.

"Oh um Izuku... You can wait until you feel better but you have a meeting with detective Tsukauchi..." He said.

"Let's just go now. Better to get it over with then procrastinating." I started coughing again but still got up. I spat into a sink and wiped my mouth with a cloth. I looked in the mirror and saw my purple contacts and hair still. I pulled the contacts out and ran my hand through my hair. I would ask Eraser for a dye stripper when I was done. We walked over to a door that said 'interrogation room.'

"You realize those words make my training kick in?" I said, rasping. I cleared my throat and spit a wad of blood into a cloth I had on my person.

Oh right! Author here again- so for the purposes of this AU, Katsuki Bakugo never got into UA. I might add him later on tho- so don't be too surprised if he pops up later in the story with no explanation XD

"Alright we'll go to another room." Tsukauchi said as he walked out of the room.

I smiled to myself. The first step in taking control is making them honour a tiny request. We walked to another room and I sat down, my weary muscles giving out on me.

"Hello again Tsukauchi... How's work going now that I'm not there?" I asked with a small smile.

"It's been... chaotic..." He said quietly.

"Well if you can convince Eraser here to let me go out, I'd gladly come back. I do like doing the job..." I said almost wistfully.

He chuckled. "Still haven't lost your wit Hunter."

I smiled. Eraserhead sucked in a breath.

"That's the first time I've ever seen you actually smile." He said.

I dropped the smile. "Yeah I try not to make a habit of it..." I said sullenly.

Tsukauchi cleared his throat. "Let's get onto the questions."

"Name?"

"Izuku Hunter."

"Age?"

"What day is it?"

"July 2."

"15."

"Quirk."

"Radar. I'm not explaining it."

"Okay... parents?"

"Hisashi Midoriya and- I-Inko Midoriya..."

"Siblings?"

"N-none."

"That's a lie."

"I have one..."

"Who?"
